Weeping Lovegrass Planting Guide

Quick Facts About Weeping Lovegrass

Weeping Lovegrass is a rapidly growing warm-season bunchgrass that has narrow leaves that emerge from a tight tuft, with the tips of these leaves almost touching the ground. It is this drooping nature that gives rise to the name "weeping" lovegrass.

Planting Time

Plant directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed.

Planting Location

Plant in full sun to partial shade with light textured, well-drained soil.

How to Plant Weeping Lovegrass

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden at a depth of 1/4 inch after the risk of frost has passed.
  • Use a broadcast seeder, mix the seed with a carrier such as cornmeal, sand, or fine sawdust. This will allow for uninform distribution of seed.

Care And Maintenance

  • Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
  • Mulches play a vital role in preserving soil moisture and ensuring consistent soil temperatures. When it comes to annuals, using organic mulch made from shredded leaves not only enhances the appearance of the bed but also enriches the soil as it decomposes over time. Remember to keep mulch away from the plant stems to avoid potential rot issues.
  • Keep area watered for the first month or two, then it should be fairly self-sufficient unless there is a drought.
